~PORTABLE PRINTMAKING IN THE HOSPITAL~
You asked how we made these prints we posted about last week, so here we go!
1. Scratch your design into a tetrapack box (the cardboard ones that are shiny on the inside)
2. Ink up - use a rag to wipe off the excess ink (you want it to gather in the lines you drew)
3. Run it though the pasta press
And voila!
How beautiful are these prints made by patients in the Royal Hobart Hospital?!

~LIVE MUSIC POP UP FOR DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK~
Inscape musicians Crystal and Helena performing in the K Block foyer at the Royal Hobart Hospital.

This was a special pop up in conjunction with Dementia Support Australia and the Aged Services team at the RHH.

The occasion was Dementia Action Week, and the above teams were available to talk and share information around Dementia and Dementia support services. 

Art and Music often play a major role in improving quality-of-life for people living with dementia. INSCAPE bedside programs are largely focused on Aged Care and people living with dementia.

You can help us to continue to provide these services by making a tax deductible donation at https://www.inscape.org.au/donate ❤️

~ AN INSCAPE MOMENT ~
Inscape musician Will and artist Claire were recently working with a patient who has an illness that deeply impairs their short term Memory. This often means things that happened just moments beforehand are instantly forgotten. Faces, names and events passed in recent times are nearly impossible to recall.

On a recent visit, Will noticed some prints displayed on the wall that the patient had made with Claire the previous week. Being 5 days earlier he did not expect the patient to remember at all how they got there or the process. However without any prompts, the patient told Will in great detail how they were made and the joy it brought them to have been able to do such a thing while staying in hospital.

As artists and musicians in the hospital, we are so privileged to get to experience these moments with the people we engage with, and to see the benefit of bringing art and music into the hospital!

Inscape Out invited the public to experience the creative work that happens every day inside hospitals and clinics across Southern Tasmania.

Created by Inscape artists in collaboration with patients, families and healthcare staff, the installation revealed the power of creativity to foster connection, reflection and care.

Part of the City of Hobart’s InsideOUT program, the installation evolved over two months as artworks, poetry, music and artist activations transformed two simple cubes into a window into Inscape’s arts-in-health practice.

Thank you to everyone who visited, paused, participated and shared in the experience, and to our Inscape artists who generously brought this project to life.

Inscape Out featured work by Claire Pendrigh, Will Parsell, Rebecca Coote, Bec Stevens, Tanya Maxwell, Helen Swain, Shelley Cussiter, Crystal Livermore, Tiff Norchick, Leigh Tesch and Laura Purcell.

If you believe creativity has a place in healthcare, please consider supporting Inscape Tasmania. Your donation helps keep artists working in hospitals and clinics across Southern Tasmania.

~LIVE MUSIC IN OUR HOSPITAL~
Inscape musicians Crystal and Helena performed in our recent K Block pop-up at the Royal Hobart Hospital. Lots of people came by, and so many smiled at the artists as they walked through the hospital foyer. Some clapped, others gave the thumbs-up sign. The music was a beautiful mix of gentle songs ranging from 60s classics to Amy Winehouse. Helena and Crystal sang some stunning harmonies!

If you’d like to see more live music performances in our healthcare spaces, you can support Inscape with a tax deductible donation at https://www.inscape.org.au/donate

~SHOWCASING ARTWORKS MADE BY HOSPITAL STAFF~
In 2025 Inscape Artist Rebecca Coote worked with staff on 3A to create artworks that would brighten and enliven the ward for staff, patients and families. Staff worked with Rebecca during 3 lunchtime Gel Plate Printing workshops to create a series of colorful prints using acrylic paint, stencils and dried leaves which Rebecca later collaged and framed. These beautiful artworks are now enlivening the hospital space for all to enjoy.

~POP-UP PERFORMANCE WITH CRYSTAL AND ABBEY~

People passing through the K block foyer at the Royal Hobart Hospital pause and listen to the sounds of Abbey’s flute and Crystal’s guitar.

Inscape’s pop-up performances provide a moment of peace and joy in the busy the hospital environment. Nurses, doctors, patients and their loved ones always stop and listen, even if only for a moment. We hope that they’ll go back to their busy days taking a little bit of that magic with them.
